Juno reached Jupiter for the first time on July 4, 2016, following a five-year journey 1.8 billion miles (2.8 billion km) from Earth.
No previous spacecraft has orbited this gas giant planet, although two others have been sent through its atmosphere, and the spacecraft is expected to study the composition of Jupiter’s atmosphere until 2025.
NASA also released a separate image that Juno took, this time during one of the nearby passes of Jupiter’s giant moon Ganymede, the largest moon in our solar system, even bigger than Mercury.
Ganymede is the only moon known to have a magnetic field of its own, which causes auroras that orbit around the moon’s poles, and evidence also suggests that Ganymede may be hiding a liquid water ocean beneath its icy surface.
